17 New 'Vampire Diaries' Photos: See Klaus In All His 'Original' Glory!

The April 21 episode of ‘The Vampire Diaries’ will finally bring us face-to-face with the baddest vamp of all time! Is he everything you expected he would be?

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Klaus (Joseph Morgan) — the ancient vampire who strikes fear in the hearts of doppelgangers everywhere. The good people at The CW are finally giving us our first look at the oldest vampire of all time, and I’ve got to admit, I’ve got goosebumps. When we’re introduced to him April 21 (the episode is appropriately titled “Klaus”) it’s done so through a series of flashbacks, explaining the real backstory between Klaus, Elijah (Daniel Gillies) and everyone’s favorite body-double Katherine (Nina Dobrev.)

So what do you think of Klaus? Is he every bit as terrifying as you thought he would be? Sound off in the comments section below!
